Gaze was looking at the ground the moment she had transmigrated, the memories of the person she took over invaded her. For a moment, her Gaze sharped as her mind went to work and went into planning.

Sarah Michel, a side character in the story, neighbor to the female lead, and one of the male leads Ex-girlfriends and childhood friend. Her mother died to cancer when she was young and for along time it has been just her and her father.

Until he got married to other women that brought two younger daughters with her. The women of course overly favored her daughters, while her father that has been a workaholic since her mother’s death. Would often leave her for business trips for months end.

And even when he is here her father takes her stepmother’s side every time. The first two years of their marriage Sarah who was once a bright and optimistic young girl, had been worn down by this stepmother into becoming a quiet and introvert one.

Both she and the male lead where each other’s first crush, first love, and first date. The book even states that the two could have had a strong relationship if she was not worn down by the stepmother.

After their break-up the male lead became a playboy in order to forget this Ex of his.

She wasn’t the villainous because of how important she was to the male lead, at the end of the story, the male lead confronted her and talked to her, she was happy he moved on and he was happy to finally have some closer. This was the only time this side character was given a full scene.

Today was Sarah’s birthday and the day before the start of the story when the female lead transfers in. However, the birthday that was being celebrated was her stepmother’s fraternal twin girl’s whose birthdays where in the next two weeks.

The Stepmother decided to do all their birthdays on her day. But, that was far from it, the cake always had two names on it. Her father never said anything about it for these past two years

She closed her eyes and felt the hatred surge from the original body. Hate, hurt betrayal, and lack of courage. This feeling was boiling, while the party continued in celebration of her two stepsisters. Her Stepmothers family was also celebrating, her father was smiling in the background.

“Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday Dear-” The people where chanting as the twins and her mother where teary-eyed.

Smash!

Everyone froze as Gaze broke the table in half, everyone stood frozen.

In Sarah’s memories it was only her mother’s family that sent her birthday cards and gave her calls. But, she never had the courage to tell them about how she was treated. Also, Sarah and her mother where martial arts fanatics. Sarah herself is currently enrolled in a karate academy.

“Sarah! What is wrong with you?” her Step-mother Karla asked in furry as the perfect moment was ruined. Her stepsister looked at her hatefully, while her stepmother’s family looked confused.

Her father is frowning.

“I wonder what is wrong with me, I mean it is my birthday Afterall.”

“….” The stepmother went quiet as well as the rest of her family. Gaze did not look at any other them as her eyes where down at the pure green grass. She was counting the ants down below marching.

“Maria and Marine’s birthdays aren’t until two weeks later and yet.”

“Hey, Karla is that true, that today is her birthday.” Her stepmother’s brother asked with a frown. “If so that a F****, thing you-” he was hit in the gut by his mother.

“How pointless…” Gaze muttered at the ants that she was watching.

“Your right, its your birthday, that’s why we are celebrate them together.” Karla quickly said.

‘You have a fine way of showing it, I mean look at the decorations that don’t even have my name. Not to mention the cake and that fact that its your family and while the family from my mothers and Father’s side isn’t even invited. I’m seventeen now and I spent my fifth and sixteenth birthday like this.”

Gaze sighed and looked up her eyes showed that she has no feelings for the people before her.
